Everybody says don´t
Everybody says don´t
Everybody says
Don´t it isn´t right
Don´t it isn´t nice

Everybody says don´t
Everybody says don´t
Everybody says
Don´t walk on the grass
Don´t disturb the peace
Don´t skate on the ice

Well, I say do
I say
Walk on the grass
It was meant to feel
I say sail
Tilt at the windmill
And if you fail you fail

Everybody says don´t
Everybody says don´t
Everybody says

Don´t get out of line
When they say that then
Lady, that´s a sign
Nine times out of ten
Lady, you´re doing just fine

Make just a ripple
Come on be brave
This time a ripple
Next time a wave

Sometimes you have to start small
Climbing the tiniest wall
Maybe you´re going to fall
But it´s better than not starting at all

Everybody says no
Stop mustn´t rock the boat

Mustn´t touch a thing

Everybody says don´t
Everybody says wait
Everybody says can´t fight city hall
Can´t upset the court
Can´t laugh at the king

Well, I say try
I say
Laugh at the king till it makes you cry
Lose your poise
Fall if you have to
But lady make a noise
Yes

Everybody says don´t
Everybody says can´t

Everybody says wait around for miracles
That´s the way the world is made

I insist on miracles
If you do them
Miracles
Knock on to them
I say don´t
Don´t be afraid
